WARNING Please Read Carefully
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact
with system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warning
to the attention of the users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There
are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types of emer-
gencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type
may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a
variety of reasons. Some but not all of these reasons may be:
■ ■
■ ■
■ Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate
protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security professional
to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks and latches on
windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors,
walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and
construction to provide the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must
be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire
and/or police department is highly recommended if this service is available.
■ ■
■ ■
■ Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at
the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent to
develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is im-
portant that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its fea-
tures remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it
does not provide the protection expected.
■ ■
■ ■
■ Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a
sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insuffi-
cient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or pre-
vent the proper operation of the system.
■ ■
■ ■
■ Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security
devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device
operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the
batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and in-
stalled correctly. If a device operates only by AC power, any interruption,
however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does not have power.
Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctua-
tions which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system. Af-
ter a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete sys-
tem test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
■ ■
■ ■
■ Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several
years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a
function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such
as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations
may reduce the expected battery life. While each transmitting device has a
low battery monitor which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced,
this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance
will keep the system in good operating condition.
■ ■
■ ■
■ Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless)
Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could
include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jam-
ming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
■ ■
■ ■
■ System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due
to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device in
time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important that all sys-
tem users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they
know how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.
■ ■
■ ■
■ Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants
of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors
may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to
reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs,
or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from
fires on another level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burn-
ing. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke
detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or
safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas,
improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, chil-
dren playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances
when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to
avoid injury or death.
■ ■
■ ■
■ Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as
shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discrimi-
nate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not
provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection
and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by these
beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings,
floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of
tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking, painting,
or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other
part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in tempera-
ture. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient tempera-
ture rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or unin-
tentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat
sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight,
steam vents, lighting and so on.
■ ■
■ ■
■ Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people
or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If warn-
ing devices are located on a different level of the residence or premise,
then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Au-
dible warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources such
as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or passing
traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a
hearing-impaired person.
■ ■
■ ■
■ Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy
for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its
operation by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect.
■ ■
■ ■
■ Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the
occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to
respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the
response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.
■ ■
■ ■
■ Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible,
the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.
■ ■
■ ■
■ Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as in-
tended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete sys-
tem should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an attempted
break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construc-
tion activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should include all
sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices and any other
operational devices that are part of the system.
■ ■
■ ■
■ Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for prop-
erty or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property
owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize
the harmful effects of an emergency situation.

About Your Security System
Your DSC Power832 Security System has been designed to provide you with the greatest possible
flexibility and convenience. Read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on your
system's operation and on which features have been implemented in your system. All users of this
system should be equally instructed in its use. Fill out the “System Information” page with all of you
zone information and access codes and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Fire Detection
This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and providing
a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having adequate number of
detectors placed in appropriate locations. This equipment should be installed in accordance with
NFPA 72 (N.F.P.A., Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA 02269). Carefully review the Family Escape
Planning guidelines in this manual.
NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment before it becomes
functional.
Testing
To insure that your system continues to function as intended, you must test your system weekly.
Please refer to “Testing Your System” on page 13 of this manual. If your system does not function
properly, call your installing company for service.
Monitoring
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles and emergency information over telephone
lines to a central station. If you inadvertently initiate an alarm, immediately call the central station to
prevent an unnecessary response.
NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes functional.
General System Operation
Your security system is made up of a DSC Power832 control panel, one or more Power832 keypads
and various sensors and detectors. The control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility closet
or in a basement. The metal cabinet contains the system electronics, fuses and stand-by battery.
There is normally no reason for anyone but the installer or service professional to have access to the
control panel.
All the keypads have an audible indicator and command entry keys. The LED keypads have a group
of zone and system status lights. The LCD keypad has an alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD).
The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to display the current system status. The
keypad(s) will be mounted in a convenient location inside the protected premises close to the entry/
exit door(s).
The security system has several zones of area protection and each of these zones will be connected
to one or more sensors (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.). A sensor in
alarm will be indicated by the corresponding zone lights flashing on a LED keypad or by written
messages on the LCD keypad.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included –
your central station of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but
they may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices
or life and property insurance. Your security system should be installed and serviced by qualified
security professionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided
and on system operations.

Access Codes
Access codes are used to arm and disarm the system. There are 37 access codes available: 1 master
code, 32 regular access codes, 2 duress codes and 2 partition master codes. Ask your installer for
more information on using the duress and partition master codes.
Only the Master Code can be used to program additional security codes and to change other system
features as well as to arm and disarm the security system. The Master Code will be supplied to you by
your installer. All keypad entries are made by pressing one key at a time.
All access codes can be programmed by following the procedure outlined in “Programming Security
Codes” on page 7.
NOTE: An access code can be a four or six digit number depending on how your installer has
programmed your system. Ask your installer for more information regarding access codes.
Arming the System
Arming from an LED or LCD5501Z Keypad:
If the Ready light is ON, the system is ready for arming. If the Ready light is OFF, check to see that all
doors and windows are closed and that motion is stopped in areas covered by motion detectors. The
system cannot be armed unless the Ready light is ON indicating that all zones are closed and the
system is in the Ready state.
Enter your access code. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will beep. If the access code
was entered incorrectly, the keypad buzzer will sound steadily for two seconds. If this occurs, press
the [#] key and re-enter your access code. If the correct access code is entered, the keypad sounder
will beep quickly and the Armed light will come ON. Exit the premises through the door indicated by
your installer as the Exit/Entry door.
The panel will provide an exit delay period, indicated by keypad beeps, for you to exit the premises
without causing an alarm. At the end of the exit delay period, the Ready light will turn OFF and the
system will be armed. The exit delay time can be changed by your installer.
Arming from an LCD Keypad:
When this message appears, one or more zones are not secured. To secure the
system, close all doors and windows and cease all motion in areas covered by
motion detectors.
When this message appears, use the arrow (< >) keys to verify that the system is
clear of troubles and that no zones are bypassed unintentionally (see “Viewing
Trouble Conditions” on page 13 and “Zone Bypassing” on page 12).
If this display is showing, the system is in the Ready state and may be fully armed.
To arm the system, enter your access code.
Once the correct access code has been entered, the display will be as shown. The
panel will provide an exit delay period, also indicated by keypad beeps, for you to
exit the premises without causing an alarm. Exit through the door indicated by your
installer as the Exit/Entry door.
This message will be displayed once the exit delay expires and the system is fully
armed.
If this message appears, be aware of which zones are bypassed and why (see
“Zone Bypassing” on page 12). NOTE: If you arm the system with a zone
bypassed or with a trouble present, your security protection is reduced.

Alternate Arming Methods
Away Arming
Arming the system in the Away mode will have all interior zones and perimeter zones active. If motion
is detected in the interior zones, or if one of the perimeter zones is violated, the alarm sequence will
begin. To arm in the Away mode, enter your access code and exit the premises through a designated
Exit/Entry door. The system will recognize that occupants have left the premises. Once the exit delay
expires, the system will be fully armed.
If your installer has programmed the “Away” function key, you can use it at any time to Away arm your
system. Press and hold the key for 2 seconds to initiate away arming. If your system is stay armed,
pressing the Away key will turn on the interior zones and the system will be away armed.
Audible Exit Fault
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper
exit when arming the system in the Away mode. In the event that you fail to exit the premises during
the allotted exit delay period, or if you do not securely close the Exit/Entry door, the system will notify
you that it was improperly armed in two ways: the keypad will emit one continuous beep and the bell or
siren will sound. If this occurs, you must re-enter the premises, enter your access code to disarm the
system, and then follow the arming procedure again, making sure to exit the premises in the proper
fashion. Your installer will tell you if the Audible Exit Fault has been enabled on your system.
Stay Arming
This feature, if enabled by your installer, will allow you to arm the perimeter zones while leaving the
interior zones inactive so that you can remain on the premises while the system is armed. When you
enter your security code to arm the system and
do not
exit the premises through a designated Exit/
Entry door, the system will arm in the Stay mode, automatically bypassing the interior zones.
If your installer has programmed the “Stay” function key, you can use it at any time to stay arm your
system. Press and hold the key for 2 seconds to turn on stay arming. If your system is away armed,
pressing the Stay key will turn off the interior zones and the system will be stay armed.
You can turn the interior zones on again by pressing the Away key or [
✱][1]. If you turn on the interior
zones, do not go into areas covered by motion detectors. To access areas protected by motion detectors,
you must enter your security code and disarm the system, or press the Stay key to turn off interior zones.
Arming Without Entry Delay
If you wish to arm your system without the entry delay, enter [✱][9] then your access code. The Armed
light will flash as a reminder that the system is armed and has no entry delay. An entry through any
zone programmed as a delay zone will create an instant alarm.
The entry delay can be activated or deactivated at any time while the system is armed by pressing [
✱][9].
Quick Arm
When the Quick Arm feature is enabled, the system may be armed by simply pressing [✱][0] instead of your
access code. Please note that pressing [✱][0] will only allow you to arm the system; to disarm, you must enter
a valid access code. Your installer will inform you if the Quick Arm feature has been enabled on your system.
Quick Exit
When the Quick Exit feature is enabled, pressing [✱][0] while the system is armed will provide a two minute
window for you to exit the premises. During this time, you may only open and close the designated Entry/
Exit door once. Once the door is closed, the panel will end the two minute quick exit delay. If the door is
opened again, or if the door is not closed after two minutes, or if another zone is opened, the panel will begin
the entry delay. Your installer will inform you if the Quick Exit feature has been enabled on your system.

Disarming the System
Disarming from an LED or LCD5501Z Keypad:
Enter the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door; entering by any other door will sound an
immediate alarm. As soon as the Exit/Entry door is opened, the keypad will beep to indicate that the
system should be disarmed. Go to the keypad and enter your access code. If an error is made
entering the code, enter your code again. As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed light
will go out and the keypad will stop beeping.
The correct access code must be entered before the entry delay period expires. If a valid access
code is not entered during this time, the system will go into alarm. The entry delay time may be
changed by your installer.
If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, upon disarming the system, the Memory light and
the zone light corresponding to the zone (zone number on LCD5501Z) which caused the alarm will
flash for 30 seconds. After the 30 second period, the Memory light and zone light will stop flashing and
the panel will return to the Ready state. Pressing the [#] key during the 30 second period will cancel
the alarm memory display. To view other alarms, press [
✱][3].
If a trouble was detected when the panel is disarmed, the Trouble light will turn ON (See “Viewing
Trouble Conditions” on page 12 to determine the source of the trouble.) Please note that troubles will
not display while the system is in the Alarm Memory Display mode.
Disarming from an LCD Keypad:
Upon entering through a designated Exit/Entry door, the keypad will beep and the entry delay will
commence, reminding you to disarm the system. The keypad will display the following message...
Enter your access code. If an error is made in entering the code, enter the code
again.
When a valid access code is entered, the keypad will stop beeping. If no
alarms occurred while the panel was armed, and there are no troubles, the display
will read...
After about five seconds, the system will return to the Ready state and the display
will read...
If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, this message will be displayed.
Use the arrow (< >) keys to view which zones caused the alarm. If a zone is still in
alarm, the display will show the following message to indicate that a zone is open...
Upon disarming and if a trouble is present, this message will be displayed. Use the
arrow (< >) keys to view which troubles are affecting the system (see “Viewing
Trouble Conditions” on page 12).
NOTE: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you were away, it is possible that
an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to a neighbour's house, and call the local police to
investigate.
The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed so that any alarms showing are
alarms that occurred only during the last armed period.

Zone Bypassing
The zone bypassing function is used when access is needed to part of the protected area while the
system is armed. Zones which are temporarily out of service due to damaged wiring or contacts may
be bypassed to allow system arming until repairs can be made.
Bypassed zones will not cause an alarm. Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed.
Bypassed zones are automatically cancelled each time the system is disarmed and must be reapplied
before the next arming.
NOTE: For security reasons, your installer may program the system to prevent you from bypassing
certain zones.
Bypassing zones reduces your security protection. If you are bypassing a zone due to damaged wiring
or contacts, please call a service technician immediately so that the problem can be resolved and your
system returned to proper working order.
Do not unintentionally bypass zones when you arm your system.
To bypass zones from an LED or LCD5501Z keypad:
Start with the system in the Ready state. Enter [✱][1][Zone number(s) to be bypassed].
Enter the zone number(s) as a double digit from 01 to 32. As each zone is bypassed, the corresponding zone
light will turn ON (LCD5501Z will display the zone number). If multiple zones are bypassed, the LCD5501Z
will scroll through the zone numbers. If a zone is bypassed by mistake, press that zone number again and the
zone light will turn OFF, indicating that the zone is not bypassed. Press [#] to return to the Ready state.
When the system is armed, the Bypass light will be ON if one or more zones are bypassed.

The description above may not be applicable depending on how your installer has programmed
the fire alarm operations on your system. Ask your installer for more information regarding your
system's operation.
Household Fire Safety Audit
Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend that a household fire safety
audit be conducted and a fire escape plan be developed.
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed cords, overloaded
lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or
household service, have a professional evaluate these units.
2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well ventilated cool area? Cleaning
with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3. Are fire hazardous materials (matches) well out of reach of children?
4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean and in good working order?
Have a professional evaluate these appliances.

Fire Escape Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is thus
very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.
1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.
2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires occur at
night, special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.
3. Escape from a bedroom must be possible without opening the interior door.
Consider the following when making your escape plans:
• Make sure that all perimeter doors and windows are easily opened. Ensure that they are not
painted shut, and that their locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
• If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped, plans for
rescue should be developed. This includes making sure that those who are to perform the rescue
can promptly hear the fire warning signal.
• If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be provided as well
as training in its use.
• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from exterior patio doors
in winter; outdoor furniture or equipment should not block exits.
• Each person should know of a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be accounted
for i.e.: across the street or at a neighbour's house. Once everyone is out of the building, call the
Fire Department.
• A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate or attempt to fight the fire, and do not
gather belongings or pets as this wastes valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house.
Wait for the fire department.
• Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency arise,
everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change, such as the number of
people in the home, or if there are changes to the building's construction.
• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests (see “Fire Alarm
Operation” on page 14). If you are unsure about system operation, contact your installing dealer.
• We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request further information on fire
safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-
house fire safety inspection.
Maintenance
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. The following points should be observed.
1.Do not wash the security station with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth should
remove normal accumulations of dust.
2.The battery/bell test is designed to determine battery condition. We recommended, however, that
the stand-by batteries be replaced every three years.
3.For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic or microwave motion
detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the respective manufacturer’s literature for testing and
maintenance.
